.


so i was rudely interrupted from my comp when it suddenly just went blank.
need to rant
been awhile since i last ranted on here o_O

what happened was, a short circuit occurred.
black out.
well at first it didn't affect my computer.
the master bedroom toilet's light went out.
then my bro-in-law went to the circuit breaker panel to flick it back on.
in the end he went to restart everything.
which means he flicked everything off.
nice one. then my comp got shut off.
so there, why i got cut off all of a sudden.

it wasn't a problem though,
not like i was working on some great big major project
that disappeared with a flick of a switch.

so okay. i figured i can go on the comp later.
time to relax.
so i went to watch tv.
then what? sis told me to go buy a new electrical component to replace the old spoilt one.
it was like thing that connects the circular lamp to the switch in the ceiling.
(i found out what it's called. the packaging said it's called a ballast -_-)
ok whatever.

then i said fine i'll geddit after the show which ends slightly before 9pm,
the neighbourhood DIY store doesn't pack up so early.

so i was just enjoying my tv then 20 minutes later,
mom yelled. she told me to friggin go buy it now.
i was like wtf? i said i'll go after the show.
and she said oh the shop'll be closed by then and yada-yada
tired of all the yelling and arguing,
i yelled back "fine i'll go now" [she was in the bedroom, i was in the living room]
so in the end i just grabbed the old ballast, some cash, my phone,
& stomped outta the house and ran over the street to get the new one.
meanwhile muttering under my breath
"yea i'll go get it while you get to lie on the bed
and enjoy the damn tv
and comfort of your own bedroom
while I am the one going to get this so YOU can friggin' bathe later"

i wouldn't be this pissed if she didn't keep yelling at me to go get the stuff.
hello? the shop wouldn't close down and i can't go get it later right?
even if i didn't go down tonight, i can go tmr morning right?
freaking stupid.

i bet she just wants me to get it early
so daddy can replace the new one as soon as he gets home without waiting
or troubling him to go get the new electrical component himself.

what.e.v.e.r lah

so i got home, feeling all that pissed off mood.
decided to work out.
exercise and get the negative feelings out.
then what?
i got all sweaty and sticky.
so i took fresh clothes to the toilet.
hoho, and happily turned on the toilet switch.
where's the light?
great. alisha, look up.
forgot.
the circular lamp wasn't even there.
nice move, so what happens next? wait till daddy comes home so he can fix the lamp for you?
forget it, save it.
so i went to get the ballast, fixed it to the lamp, got the ladder
and set off to work.
dumb.

and mom was like "wah you know how to fix ah?"
all i did was kept working while ignoring her.

i know it's not a good time to be so mean to mom,

but that's not a good enough reason for her to be so obnoxious and demanding ok?
just because she's sick, she gets everything she wants without good reason?
doesn't work that way.
if she asked nicely and freakin be reasonable, i won't be feeling this shitty.
idiots.

oh yeah and sis and bro-in-law didn't go buy the ballast because why?
because they had to "go home early".
and then all they know how to do is push the job to little alisha.
look, they didn't even ask, they just tell.
"mei, you go down and buy the stuff."
and not a
"can you go down and buy the stuff?"

i don't mind doing things for the family,
if they make me feel like it's worth doing stuff for them
and that i am appreciated.

moral of the story?
for such chores, they say let the men do it.
what happens if the men screws them up,
(by flicking all the circuit breakers switching every appliance off)
or the right men (dad) aren't around?
tch, gender roles. stupid.


and here's this duck that keeps staring at me whilst i type.

quack. it makes the classic rubber ducky sound.
